   Gene
   I am taking the liberty (confidentially) to send you a copy of the reviewers comments
   (please keep these to yourself) of the last IPCC draft chapter. I am concerned that I am
   not as objective as perhaps I should be and would appreciate your take on the comments from
   number 6-737 onwards , that relate to your reassessment of the Mann et al work. I have to
   consider whether the current text is fair or whether I should change things in the light of
   the sceptic comments. In practise this brief version has evolved and there is little scope
   for additional text , but I must put on record responses to these comments  - any
   confidential help , opinions are appreciated . I have only days now to complete this
   revision and response.
   note that the sub heading 6.6 the last 2000 years
   is page 27 line35 on the original (commented) draft.
   Cheers
   Keith
